我只想依靠在你肩膀

我很累。
我真的很累。

WELL DONE, cannot claim liao!

I found my hotel recipt for the conference.

But my aunty threw away my air ticket...

And most importantly, i lost the conference receipt...crap

Sunday FUN!

I think I must be crazy.

On a sunny Sunday, I woke up at 6.45am to accompanied Andrew to attend AMKCC Bi-annual General Meeting (BGM). Thank goodness AMKCC is just opposite my block and Andrew bought me yummy Mcdonalds for breakfast. A good breakfast makes up for everything! :)

BGM was held in Eng Wah cinema, quite a unique idea to hold such a serious event there. And there was movie screening after the ceremony! So we drove to Jubilee and Ihelped out abit with the administrative work. BGM commenced at 9am and Guest of Honour was Mr Seng Han Thong.

Watched Alien in the Attic, a good appetiser to begin the morning.

Then shopped around AMK Central as I wanted to get a new pair of sports shoes. My current one is smelly and the soles came off, so I had to buy a new one before I can hit the gym.

Saw a nice pair of orange sports shoes, and I think we have very high taste. The shoes cost $179. But unfortunately, it doesn't have my size! :(

Lunch was at Fish n Co, we aren't very hungry but we ordered ALOT!

Seafood platter for two and a plate of fish and chips which is not in the picture.

Can we finish them all?

OF COURSE!! :D

Went tuition after lunch at Hougang Mall before going to meet the -wins for KTV in Chinatown! I was the earliest, surprisingly! And all of them are late! *ahem*ahem* Share Wu Xiang for dinner with RJ and met this super black face hawker, machiam we owe him money like that.

Sang from 7pm till 11.30pm before going home. I waited for cab till 12am can! Called cab and there was not a single cab who wanted to take my hire! Finally boarded 1 Citycab at 12am and the uncle told me all cabs went to pick customers from F1, which explains the lack of taxis in Chinatown.

Reached home at 12.30am and slept at 1am.

MY GOD, IM SO TIRED! :(

For the 50th time...

Me:"Ernest sweetheart (Primary Four), listen carefully ok. Teacher Maureen is going to explain this for the last time. A rectangle has lengths and breadths. This horizontal line is the length. Length is longer."
Student: *nods*



Me:"So darling, this is breadth. It is..."
Student:"Shorter than length."
Me:"Good boy!"



Me:"So look at this rectangle now. The length for this rectangle is 60cm..."
Student: *nods*
Me:"So can you tell me what is the breadth of this rectangle?"
Student: *confidently* 13CM!

I NEARLY FAINTED. -_-
Do 1 month of area and perimeter liao, and i tried using many many different ways to explain, models, numbers, examples etc... He simply doesn't want to think! How to teach! How to teach!!

Primary Four already, still cannot multiply 68 by 28, I don't know hw to teach him man. His parents just pay me a sum of money, thinking that by seeing him twice a week I can produce miracle! He is not even helping himself.

I just signed up twitter! And I realised I grew thinner :(

Tuition begins AGAIN...

OT today till 7pm before rushing home. Told my student to come at 8pm for tuition instead. So ate dinner while teaching. SHAG! I kept yawning while she was doing work.

She showed me her class photo and excitedly introduce me to her classmates. We spent a hell lotsa time gossiping about the yandaos and chiobus in her class. How nice, class photo taking sessions are always very fun.

O level is coming in a month's time
PSLE is coming in two weeks time

I am feeling the pressure building up.

And my Ang Mor Boss is back today.
Gosh, im expecting more work piling up.
We have already had a 1.5 hours of unofficial meeting today.

It's about time...! haha

Uncle is going China to visit XIAOHEI!

时间不饶人

世界不会因为某人而停止，
一间公司不会少了谁而不能开工，
一个人不会因为少了谁而不能活。

从日本回来后又开始投入工作，
就因为时间不饶人。
每天都有不同的问题和个案要处理，
根本不可能有多余的时间整理心情，
而世界也不能等我收拾好心情才上班。

我想，
现在唯一可以让我脑子休息和发呆的时候
就是 that moment
那个时候心里感觉最平静
把恼人的手机丢在包包里，完全不理手机的存在，
只唯单纯享受那一刻。that precious moment

爸爸驾车我从不敢安详地在车上睡觉。
因为他是一个很不专心的驾驶员，
可以讲电话、发短信、整理东西、睡觉等，
一半的时间眼睛都不在马路和驾驶盘上，
太恐怖了。

舅舅驾车更糟糕，
完全没有驾车的天分，
而且又不认路，
虽然驾得很慢，冷气开得最大，
我还是会流汗帮忙看路。

Taxi 更不用说了。
有些Uncle把马路当成F1 race course，
有些则从不把顾客的生命看在眼里。

很久没有在行驶的车子里睡得那么舒服，
虽然架得很快，
可是那一刻，我既然很安心地睡着了。

或许是完全信任驾驶者，
一个礼拜也可能只有这一刻可以尽情地发呆，
完全放松，好像天塌下来也会受保护似的。

其实也不算发呆，
more like enjoying the presence of each other.

像我这么多种性格变化的人，
要应付我的高低起伏的情绪，
一下疯疯癫癫，一下眼泪直流、一下嘻嘻哈哈、一下默不作声。。。
真的不容易。

能接受自己情绪极大变化的人，我想可能就只有一两个吧。:)

My 6 Days in Japan

DAY ONE: KUMAMOTO
I didn't take alot of pictures in Japan, so I'll just finish everything in a post. When i reached Narita Airport, the first thing that totally amused me is this:

The toilet is so HIGH TECH can! The first time i went in, i sat down and stared at the bottons for a good 5 mins. WHERE IS THE FLUSH BOTTON?

Close up! I pressed the ALL the buttons! there's a tube that will come out and splash water at your buttocks and the other splash water over my body and wet my shirt -_-

Too overwhelmed by the buttons. After playing with it, then i realise that there are instructions on the wall -_-

After I reached Narita Airport (6 hours), i took a bus limousine (1.5 hours) to Haneda Airport. Then I took a domestic flight (1.5 hours) to Kumamoto Airport. Then i took a bus to Kumamoto City (1 hour), then i spent 30 minutes looking for my hotel and finally, i have reached my hotel: DORMY INN! In total, i took 10 hours??

My hotel is Kumamoto, did i exclaim that i love this hotel lots lots? IT DAMN SPACIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL!

After taking a shower, i took a bus to Gakuen University.

The public bus system for Japan is different. We board from the back and alight at the front. it's expensive.

walked around kumamoto city and ate their ramen. wahseh! damn flavourful, leaving me damn thirsty throughout the night.

DAY TWO: IAICS CONFERENCE
The transport system is japan is really confusing. my conference presentation starts at 1030am. when i reached there, i realised their tag was printed wrongly. It states my name and im from CHINA. So i insisted that they change it before i go up and present my paper. :p

Their university isn't as big as NTU, more like a college. And of course, it wasn't as pretty as the website.

The hall. It was a really small conference and there wasnt much sign or publicity to show that there is conference. when i came here the day before, i was shocked that there was nothing to show that there is a conference. i thought i went to the wrong university.

Taken after the conference

thank goodness my conference is in the morning, so after lunch, i left the university to go sight seeing. and i sight see this right outside the unversity. the truck is too tall, got stuck under the bridge. i was damn amused. how come the truck so stupid. LOL

I ask the hotel manager and managed to take a 1 hour bus to the zoo. kumamoto is a very rural place and travelling to zoo makes it even more rural. when i reached the zoo, i decided to head back to hotel. it's damn ulu, can u see it? there is not even a single soul! and when i reached there it was already 330pm and the last bus is 5pm! gosh. doesnt sound safe and feasible to visit the zoo, so i went back.

instead i went to kumamoto castle, a popular sight seeing place near my hotel.

CAN U IMAGINE HOW AMUSED I WAS? I controlled my laughter when i see him lor! why he wear until like that and his hair is PONG PONG ok! alamak, doesn't it reminds u of the Hyper Bishi Bashi champ dancing queen? LOL!

night robe in dormy inn hotel

DAY THREE: MOUNT FUJI
Took a flight back to Haneda then took a FOUR HOURS bus ride to Hakone, a hill top destination near mount fuji.

This is the inn im staying in.

streets here turn dark very very early. when i went out to have dinner at 6pm, the streets look like 11pm. it's damn dark, damn cold.

Traditional japanese room, nothing to do at night. so camp in my room surf net. how sad

DAY FOUR: MOUNT FUJI / TOKYO
Took a outdoor spring bath at 730am in the morning, the water temp is 39 degrees, damn hot but shiok! I wasn't feeling very comfortable going naked for outdoor spring bath, but okay lah, got used after that.

Set off early to see my beautiful mount fuji!

First, must take cable car. yes, they call this cable car.

reached this place.

Then take this ropeway. yes they call this ropeway, not cable car.

dun ask if im scared of heights anot, i dun wana think about it.

reached this place

and there was this 幸福之钟。我敲了3下，希望自己和身边的人都幸福。:)

AND FINALLY I CAN SEE MOUNT FUJI! OH~~~
This is Owakudani. it is an explosion crater that has exploded about 3000 years ago.

Hello kitty, please look at the camera...

I wore 3 pieces of clothings!

The crater still discharges fumarolic gas containing posionous hydrogen sulfide. the bedrock of this area is very fragile and it has caused several landslides in the past.

But they have something special here! they use the poisonous hydrogen sulfide to cook eggs! the worker is trying to remove the eggs.

look at the crowd.

and from owakaduni, i can see mount fuji. breathtaking.

BLACK EGGS!

it is said that by eating one egg, can live 7 years longer. crap lor, if i eat finish the five eggs, i think i will die earlier due to cholestrol -_-

Lake Ashin...

Then i went back to inn. there's the little prince museum nearby!

Arrived at Tokyo at night...1st thing i did was to go Takashimaya buy cosmetics!

The make up artiste asked if i want a cute look or cool look.

and obviously, i picked the cool one. i looked like ghost -_-

DAY FIVE: TOKYO

Tokyo in the morning

Look at their confusing mrt lines...

and the crowd! cannot wear slippers sia...

I shopped around, but BOUGHT NOTHING! I didn't buy a single piece of clothes nor bag! im amazing! instead, as u can see, i cut my hair and i love it!

DAY SIX: TOKYO

Last day in tokyo, did all the shopping and tried to spend all my money. haha! and i put on mask! cuz since ah yi brought it for mi, so wear la!

before i left, checked facebook and my blogger friend told mi theres pierre herme in isetan! so i went to look for isetan!

PIERRE HERME! it's a very very popular paris shop that sells macarons! rare find ok! spore doesnt have it!

i seldom eat sweet stuff but this macaron is very yummy. it melts in my mouth. i bought 1: macaron envie... burst of raspberry... my god...
